2nd would be sufficient for us to make it to the ECF in my opinion, but with the top seed in reach why not go for it with all we got?

I think if we have legitimate shot at it and we should really focus on it.

It could come down to a game 7 in the ECF to make it to the Finals and if that game were to be played in Chicago against the Celtics than that would be a major advantage for us. We're an unbeliavable home team and we need to use that in our favor as much as possible. How much of a benefit would it be to have home court advantage all throughtout Eastern Conference playoffs? A MAJOR one.
